THIS WAS F***ING ANNOYING ME TOO even though it was just the boot loader, I wanted it to look nice and native-looking since a major point of Clover for me was it mimicked a lot of the Apple native EFI firmware features (the Apple native EFI boot logo and boot options look really good and transition very nicely since everything is in native resolution)

For me, what fixed the problem was disabling the CSM Compatiblity Support Module.

Flashed UEFI BIOS on my GTX 680 thinking it was just my GPU and still didn't fix it but disabling CSM did the trick for me.

Make sure CSM is disabled and Secure Boot is set to Other OS

ALSO MAKE SURE ALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEMS AND BOOTLOADERS ARE INSTALLED IN UEFI-MODE OTHERWISE THEY WON'T BOOT, that's what CSM does it allows Legacy boot loaders to load.

Okay little Information about my Progress now.

I did the VBIOS Flash Thing and changed my VESA Table 1024x768 to 1920x1080 and it works. But I dont get rid of these f****** black Bars. Now my Bootscreen looks SUPER UGLY.

In the "About Clover" Tab there was "Screen Output: Graphics Output (UEFI), 1024x768"

so I changed the 1024x768 to 1920x1080 in the VESA Table to get Full HD in Clover and the Bootprocess. But it looks so ugly, uglier than before. Everything is displaced. I really need to get rid of those Black Bars around that.

This has to do with the CSM support module, just disable it.

You don't actually need to edit the VESA table since most recent GPUs will have support for 1080p and even if it doesn't Clover automatically patches it, but if yours doesn't it doesn't hurt to try, just disabling CSM usually does the trick though

Well, according to your boot log, your monitor's EDID is missing.

Are you sure you were running the stock/untouched nvidia ROM when you got this log? Because I can see that 1920x1080 already exists which means you don't need to patch your ROM or even use PatchVBios !!

If you're sure, then boot into windows, get a clean EDID dump, put it in Clover's config.plist and remove the "PatchVBios" and "ScreenResolution" entries you have.

ViewSonic EDID Editor isn't working for me, "ActiveX could not create this object". So i ran RW-Enabler and got splitted HEX Number Block. Its this:

00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 04 72 CA 02 A2 60 30 20

10 03 16 01 03 80 3C 22 78 CA 7B 45 A4 55 4A A2 27

20 0B 50 54 BF EF 80 71 4F 81 40 81 80 81 C0 81 00

30 95 00 B3 00 D1 C0 02 3A 80 18 71 38 2D 40 58 2C

40 45 00 56 50 21 00 00 1E 00 00 00 FD 00 38 4C 1F

50 53 11 00 0A 20 20 20 20 20 20 00 00 00 FC 00 53

60 32 37 31 48 4C 0A 20 20 20 20 20 20 00 00 00 FF

70 00 4C 55 57 30 44 30 30 35 38 35 33 30 0A 00 E8

According to this Guide: http://www.hackintos...edid-injection/ I have to erase the first line and column. Is this the Block from "00" to "0F"? Dont want to make any mistake. Do I have to convert the large HEX Number into Base64 or is Clover that doing for me?

Thank you for the SATA Tip, my Machine takes a long time to load up. I will try it!

And keep PatchVBios enabled but remove the ScreenResolution entry from the config.plist

I must be doing something wrong. Can someone take a screenshot of how this is entered or upload the section of your config.plist file? I keep getting errors that I'm using an invalid Hexadecimal entry.

cheers

you're not trying to enter it into clover configurator are you? Because clover configurator needs it to be in hex, it automatically converts it into base64 in the confug.plist. if you enter it directly into the config.plist then you would use base64 format as shown above.

When the boot reached Clover a message on the TV screen said: Incompatible Resolution, check input. But a few moments later the Apple logo appeared and system entered. As I boot verbose (-v) this part was with a resolution TV wasn't able to handle.

After the system booted I noticed this:

It says my TV has 71'' but it has only 32''

And here the data is correct about resolution:

EDID is wrong? Am I doing something wrong?

The only thing I remember not being able to use now was DVI>HDMI cable. TV and Hack are connected via VGA Cable.

The system is the one on the signature, using latest Clover (downloaded today) and 10.10 DP6.
